 Today's Highlighted Video Story: Tredegar is a town in the Welsh valleys that changed the world. It’s medical aid society – and local MP Nye Bevan – provided the inspiration for the NHS. Nearly 80 years later, a small group of community film-makers with a keen sense of history set up a huge network of volunteers to help the people of the area through the pandemic. Now as another crisis hits, they ask where is the political will to learn from what groups like theirs did all over the country, and change the world again?

Focus of the Day Article: A new initiative extending pro bono opportunities to business operations professionals at large law firms has gone live, linking them with third sector organisations needing volunteers. Full story - Legal Futures
